Topics
Elsa Chang: 作为主持人,我介绍了国土安全部部长在参议院听证会上接受关于人身保护令的提问,并引出了特朗普政府考虑暂停人身保护令的背景。人身保护令是防止非法拘留的重要宪法原则,其历史比美国本身还要悠久。目前,特朗普政府的移民政策引发了关于暂停人身保护令的讨论,这使得我们有必要探讨总统是否有权这样做,以及暂停人身保护令的潜在影响。 Kristi Noem: 我在参议院听证会上对人身保护令的定义出现了错误,我最初认为人身保护令是总统有权将人从美国移除并暂停其权利的宪法权利。这个错误反映了我对宪法原则理解的不足,也突显了公众人物准确理解和传达法律概念的重要性。 Maggie Hassan: 作为参议员,我强调人身保护令是宪法中保护人们免受非法拘留的法律原则。我对国土安全部部长提问,旨在强调政府官员对宪法基本原则的理解必须准确无误。我对人身保护令的强调,是为了确保所有人都受到法律的公正对待,防止任何形式的非法拘留。 Stephen Miller: 我作为白宫官员,提出了在特定情况下(如国家遭受入侵时)暂停人身保护令的可能性。我提到宪法允许在特定情况下暂停人身保护令,并暗示这可能是应对当前移民问题的一种方式。然而,我的言论也引发了关于政府权力范围以及对宪法权利潜在侵犯的担忧。 Amanda Tyler: 作为法律教授,我详细解释了人身保护令的含义及其在宪法中的地位。我强调人身保护令是防止政府非法拘留公民的重要保障,并指出暂停人身保护令是非常严重的举措,历史上只在极少数情况下发生。此外,我明确指出总统无权单方面暂停人身保护令,这一权力属于国会。如果特朗普政府试图暂停人身保护令,最高法院可能会从历史和宪法的角度进行严格审查。

Shownotes Transcript

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem got a pop quiz at a senate hearing this week. The question came from Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan, of New Hampshire.Hassan asked Noem to to explain habeas corpus. For the record, habeas corpus is the legal principle, enshrined in the Constitution, that protects people from illegal detention. The reason that this bit of Latin is under discussion – is because the Trump administration says it's considering suspending habeas corpus. This core constitutional protection has been an obstacle to the President's mass deportation plan. Habeas corpus is a principle that's hundreds of years older than America itself.What would it mean if the President suspended it? And could he, under the Constitution?
